JUSUN suspends three-month strike in Osun
By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –
Three months after shutting down judicial activities across the state, the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Osun State Branch, has announced the suspension of its industrial action following progress recorded in talks with key stakeholders.
The Osun State Chairman of JUSUN, Comrade Idris Adedayo Adeniran, said the decision was taken on Monday at the union’s congress held at the High Court premises.
According to him, the suspension takes effect from December 16, 2025, to allow members to appear before the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) over pending promotion exercises.
Adeniran explained further that the strike, which began on September 19, 2025, was suspended to enable affected junior staff whose 2024 promotions had been rectified to appear before the JSC on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as well as to allow the management of the three sections of the Osun State Judiciary to officially submit the list of 2025 promotions, which will be attended to on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
He noted that the suspension, which is temporary, would enable the management to organise and clear the backlog of work in all courts within the Osun State Judiciary.
The JUSUN chairman urged the management to collaborate with the Heads of Stations of the High Courts, Magistrates’ Courts, District Customary Courts and Customary Courts to ensure a smooth resumption of duties after the Christmas break.
Adeniran acknowledged the progress made so far on some of the demands of members of the union, as agreed at the meeting held on December 10, 2025.
